Chapter 93: Mortals Killing Gods is Just a Fairy Tale

The capital of Khandaq, not far away, felt a tremor, and the populace was in utter panic.

"Is it an earthquake?"

"Could it be a missile strike?"

Some looked towards the base outside the city. Fierce flames, dazzling lightning, and purple energy intertwined, filling nearly half the sky.

Everyone was terrified. What was happening there?

Crackle!

As Ares unleashed divine power lightning, just like Zeus.

David could no longer maintain his relaxed and leisurely posture. He had to get a little serious, and no longer had the leeway to protect the beach shirt and shorts he was wearing.

Bang!

After another hard clash, David punched Ares away. A bolt of divine power lightning from Ares's axe grazed David like an electric spark, cracking the clothes on his shoulder.

He sustained no injuries and casually extinguished the spark on his shoulder.

Diana also forced Sabbac back with her sword. As he dodly dodged, she elbowed him away. She and David were back-to-back, facing two powerful enemies.

She frowned, glanced at Ares, who was still unharmed over there, and hesitated before revealing the truth.

"You can't handle Ares.

Only gods can kill gods. Leave him to me."

Her mother had told her to wait until David and Ares were both weakened, but David had just helped her, and more importantly, she didn't think David was a bad person.

"You invaded Themyscira, but you didn't kill anyone. Even when the Amazon tribe refused to yield, you didn't massacre or threaten my people. Instead, you chose to kill Ares to make the Amazon tribe submit.

You're not that bad."

Hearing this, David couldn't help but sigh at how naive Diana was. Although he had known this for a long time, saying the truth at this moment, without fear of someone else getting angry from being deceived.

"With your current ability, you can't handle Ares at all."

Although Ares was not as powerful as during the ancient war and was now in a fallen state, he was still not someone that Diana, who had not yet tapped into her potential, could handle.

"Amazons never fear death. Even if I die here today, I will kill Ares."

Holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, Diana's face was filled with determination.

In fact, although Themyscira had lived in peace for thousands of years, it had always been shrouded in Ares's shadow, especially in recent years as Zeus's magic weakened.

She often saw her mother looking out at the island with a worried expression.

"Just protect yourself."

With that, David leaped towards Ares, his expression unchanged by Diana's words.

Why could only gods kill gods?

"Earthly gods are like special dimensional beings.

They are separated from everyone else by a layer of dimension. A person can throw a pebble to make ripples on the water's surface, which is like injuring a god, but they cannot kill the reflection.

No matter what injuries they sustain, gods can recover in the blink of an eye. Only those who are gods themselves can inflict real damage on them.

David had known this for a long time.

"He's not surprised at all. Does he already know this?"

Not understanding why her suggestion was rejected, Diana could only grit her teeth and attack Sabbac. Sharpness appeared in her eyes, and her attacks became increasingly fierce. She wanted to kill Sabbac quickly so she could help David.

Ares deserved to die, and this minion of Ares deserved to die as well.

What was visible nearby was the ruins of a fortress just a moment ago. But as the four engaged in intense combat, the ground cracked, almost shattering the mountains.

Terrifying, massive holes appeared one after another.

David and Diana had a slight advantage against their respective opponents, but the advantage was not significant. This battle seemed to have turned into a war of attrition.

However, Diana was filled with anxiety, not believing the outcome would be so simple.

Ares felt the same.

Buzz!

"Your attacks are futile.

Mortals are mortals, and gods are gods."

His battle armor was cracked, and his body was scorched by cosmic energy carrying terrifying heat. Ares paid it no mind, like a berserk warrior with fierce eyes, swinging his axe with imposing force.

"The fundamental difference between us guarantees your inevitable defeat."

After he used his divine power, the mortal before him could no longer casually withstand his attacks.

Before, his attacks felt like they landed in a bottomless ocean, but now it was different. The opponent's strange defenses could no longer cope with his divine power.

"What's the difference between gods and mortals?"

Dodging the axe blade, David seemed to not even notice the injuries he had inflicted on Ares's body that healed almost instantly, as if illusory.

His fist, wrapped in highly condensed cosmic energy, struck Ares's head with earth-shattering, mountain-splitting force, like lightning, as he calmly posed a question.

"Gods are immortal, that's the difference!"

His bull-horned battle helmet flew off, and Ares's head snapped back. He turned his head without a care, a grotesquely ferocious smile appearing on his scarred, burned face as he panted heavily and attacked even more wildly.

Pain and injuries only stirred the deeper ferocity within the God of War's bones.

"Mortals slaying gods has always been a fairy tale, mortal!"

Moreover, Ares was confident that victory was within his grasp.

Although he himself had expended considerable energy through his furious assault, this mortal's energy was certainly not inexhaustible. Even with just his physical body, he could wear this guy down.

While this point annoyed him, it only made him attack more frantically.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"I believe the difference between humans and gods lies in the divine power granted by their divine positions and bloodlines."

As their attacks collided, visible rings of white shockwaves exploded outwards, affecting a hundred meters.

While fiercely battling Ares, David's eyes remained like a calm, frozen lake, like a hunter patiently waiting for his moment to strike, with Ares being the prey.

However, this arrogant firstborn son of Highfather, who had slaughtered his own divine kin during a surge of power, failed to notice this.

"You are correct. Whether it originates from bloodline or is obtained through a divine position, anyone possessing divine power can be called a deity."

Delivering another strike infused with divine power lightning, Ares sneered.

"Then, mortal, who mingles with my sister, the daughter of Zeus, which of those do you possess?"

As he spoke, he burst into mocking laughter. His axe tore through the air and was caught by David. David exerted his strength, pressing down like a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press. He looked at David, a look of mockery on his face.

"Bloodline or divine position? Whom are you descended from, or where did you find a divine position?"

Ares knew very well that David had no divine aura whatsoever from head to toe, so his words were meant to taunt him.

"Neither. I have neither."

The ground beneath his feet cracked as he stomped down. Grappling with the God of War, David was surprisingly the one with more ease, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"But I also possess divine power."

With that, lightning suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Zzzap!

Two dazzling bolts of divine power lightning, emanating a terrifying aura, shot out unexpectedly through the void.

"This...!"

The lightning illuminated the face of the God of War's firstborn son, who was close by. He widened his eyes in shock.
